Vernon Chalker Work & Career
Chalker was also a co-founder of Madame Brussels and Collins Quarter with his business partner, friend, and confidant Paula Scholes, also known as Miss Pearls. Scholes, who was first hired by Chalker to work as a doorman for the Gin Palace, paid tribute to his mentor and said, “He was one of a kind. The country boy who came to town and just got cream.” Scholes believes his success was due to “his ability to bring together great people and establish truly lasting relationships. He just knew how to make people happy, and he threw a great party.”
Gin Palace, a silky den with one of the city’s greatest collections of the product, has remained a Melbourne attraction for 22 years. The adjoining Bar Ampere opened in 2011, offers a space-age aesthetic, and encourages drinkers to engage with the ideas of futurism, a philosophical movement popularized in Italy in the early 1900s. Many attribute the longevity of the bars to Chalker’s non-formulaic formula.
The news is a severe blow to the bar community. Chalker’s venues are some of Melbourne’s most respected and successful, both for their high-quality drinks and service, and for their irreverent theatrical spark.
